The Murder of Policewoman Yvonne FletcherDuring the morning of 17 April 1984, WPC Fletcher was gunned down outside the Libyan Embassy in St James Square, London. Media claims that the Libyans were responsible for her murder were lies. Yvonne was murdered by a high velocity bullet fired from the top floor of Enserch House, a building located well to the west of the Embassy, in a covert "sting" operation stage- managed by American and Israeli intelligence operatives.

On the morning of 17th April 1984 an unarmed policewoman by the name of Yvonne Fletcher was gunned down in cold blood while on duty outside the Libyan People's Bureau in St. James Square. British accusations that the Libyan Government was responsible were wrong. Yvonne Fletcher was murdered in a pre-meditated "black" Psyop (Psychological operation) designed to manipulate British emotions on television. Two years later when America launched a vicious bombing attack on Libya from British bases, only a handful of voices were raised in protest. After all, the Libyans murdered an unarmed English policewoman didn't they? No, they did not.
More than ten years after the event, to even suggest that the Libyans did not murder Yvonne Fletcher evokes anger, because everyone knows the Libyans were proved guilty when Yvonne died on television outside their Bureau. Who proved that the Libyans murdered Yvonne Fletcher? The media, in a politically-correct feeding frenzy where truth and British national security fell casualty to the greater needs of the "international community". The media had no proof to back its hysterical propaganda after her murder, and appeared not to need any. Ironically perhaps, Yvonne Fletcher's deceptive assassination was staged in 1984, the same year chosen by George Orwell as the title for his famous book, in which the television media continually distorted or reversed the truth to suit the whims of a global elite.
All covert operations involve deception to a greater or lesser degree and St James was no exception. The police present that day were briefed that a group of anti-Quadhafi demonstrators would be cordoned on the inner pavement of the Square, enabling them to demonstrate peacefully against Libyan staff situated in their bureau across the road at number five. As with all such briefings the police were told to keep both factions apart, with the dividing line being the road itself. Since there were only two groups opposing each other, it was "obvious" that if a member of one of the two groups was injured, the other group would be responsible. So when Yvonne Fletcher was shot in the vicinity of the anti-Quadhafi demonstrators, the immediate assumption was that she must have been shot from the Libyan Bureau. It seemed there was no other option, but there was.
Two professional television cameras were filming at the time, one located outside the Bureau at 5 St James and the other outside 8 St James. In ballistics terms the footage from those two cameras provides most of the hard scientific proof needed to prove the shots could not have been fired by the Libyans, and confirms the firing platform was located in a building on the northern side of the square, well to the west of the Libyan Bureau. Forensic details from Yvonne Fletcher's post mortem provide the balance of irrefutable scientific evidence.
Early that day crowd barriers were placed round the central garden pavements of St James Square, and also to the west of the Libyan Bureau in front of numbers 7 and 8. The anti-Quadhafi demonstrators were ushered behind the barriers in the inner square at 10.15 am and a senior police officer then personally positioned twenty police constables, including WPC Fletcher, in an arc facing the inner square. Significantly, although there were more than 50 police personnel present in the Square, Yvonne Fletcher, the shortest constable in the Metropolitan Police Force, was the only female officer present.
As the constable with the lightest body weight facing multiple demonstrators of considerable bulk, every rule in the book says the senior officer should have positioned Yvonne well out on one of the flanks, but he did not do so. Yvonne Fletcher was deliberately positioned on the apex of the curve in front of the Libyan Bureau, in front of the television cameras, and directly in the chosen line of fire from 8 St James Square.
Just four minutes later at 10.19 am a 3-shot burst of automatic fire rang out. Yvonne Fletcher was hit by the first bullet in the upper right back. Bullet entry angle was 60 degrees from the horizontal, with an exit wound visible below the left rib cage. If the entry and exit wounds are lined up with her known height, and her televised position when the shots were fired, the line of fire backtracks precisely to the top floor of 8 St James Square. No other building in St James Square is high enough or at the correct azimuth to facilitate the sixty degree shot. At the coronial inquest into her death, creative media deception "proved" that Yvonne Fletcher was killed by a shot fired from the first floor of the Libyan Bureau on her left-hand side, at only 15 degrees from the horizontal!
The continuous television video sound track records the crowd chanting, followed by a bullet strike on a human body, followed in turn by the sounds of three equally-spaced very fast shots. By far the most important point proved by the sound is that the camera microphone located outside the Libyan Bureau recorded the `whump' of the bullet striking Yvonne Fletcher before it recorded the sound of the three shots being fired. What this means in layman terms is that the bullet which killed her was supersonic, and was fired from a position more distant from the camera's microphone than Yvonne Fletcher herself. This analysis alone proves the shots could not have been fired from the Libyan Bureau under any circumstances.
If the shots were fired from the Libyan Bureau they would have crossed over the camera microphone before the first bullet hit Yvonne Fletcher, i.e. the microphone would have recorded a different sound sequence: first a single shot, then the bullet impact, then shots two and three - whether the bullets were supersonic or not. There is absolutely no trace of this latter sequence on the audio, which also destroys the claim made at the coronial inquest that two 9-mm Sterling sub-machine guns fired at the same time from the Libyan Bureau. The professional television audio proves in absolute scientific terms that no shots were fired from the Bureau, nor from any other building on the eastern side of St James Square that day.
The camera positioned outside the Bureau panned left and right, showing demonstrators massed along the pavement on the inner square. When the shots were fired, this camera zoomed in and filmed the demonstrators falling sideways to the ground towards the camera's left. So their physical response was to shrapnel and noise from the opposite direction: exactly the line of fire from 8 St James. The massive kinetic energy and inertia of the high velocity assault round fired at her from 8 St James Square, knocked Yvonne Fletcher to the ground in precisely the same direction as the demonstrators, once again proving the direct line of fire. The second TV camera at 8 St James then zoomed in to show Yvonne Fletcher rolling from side to side on the road, dying on national television in excruciating agony for the greater good of the "international community".
It is no great secret that many embassies stock weapons for use in self defence, which are normally limited to handguns loaded with jacketed or solid lead bullets of standard military type, normally 9-mm parabellum, designed to remain intact and not expand on entry to the body. In the case of the 9 millimetre 115 grain bullet fired by defensive pistols, and sub-machine guns such as the Sterling, energy falls from 341 foot-pounds at the muzzle, to 241 foot-pounds at 100 yards. Quite enough to cause serious injury, but rarely death if hit in the upper right back at fifty yards. Conversely, the energy from high velocity 7.62-mm burst-fire assault rifles such as the Belgian FN or German Heckler and Koch51, firing a 150 grain standard military round is a massive 2,288 foot-pounds at 100 yards. Enough to go straight through a policewoman with energy to spare.
The full Fletcher autopsy report will never be made public, but details released at the coronial inquest into her death are sufficient for military experts to prove that a 9-mm parabellum bullet fired by a Sterling could not have been responsible for the terrible damage inflicted, even at point-blank range. After entering WPC Fletcher's upper right back the single bullet damaged the right lung, completely destroyed both lobes of the liver, shredded the large inferior vena cava vein leading to the left ventricle of the heart, caused damage to the spine and cut the pancreas in half, before completing its 12 inch track through her body and exiting below the left rib cage, continuing on to cause further injuries to Fletcher's left elbow. Massive injuries like these sustained through 12 inches of human tissue, can only be caused by the colossal hydrostatic impact and inertia of a full bore (7.62-mm) high velocity assault round.
To rule out any further argument on this point, tissue tests were conducted in Australia to establish the maximum penetration of 9-mm parabellum rounds in pig carcasses. At its maximum muzzle velocity of 1,350 feet per second, the 115 grain bullet fired at 50 yards penetrated only 6 inches, with no hydrostatic effect at all on wet organs such as the liver. Then, to counter ridiculous claims from London that Yvonne might have been killed by a "silenced" pistol or sub-machine gun, more 115 grain rounds were downloaded to a subsonic (silenced) velocity of 900 feet per second. At 50 yards these puny rounds penetrated only 1.5 inches. Further tests established in absolute scientific terms that the minimum round needed to inflict Fletcher's hydrostatic injuries and penetrate 12 inches of tissue, was a bullet with a minimum weight of 150 grains, fired at a velocity in excess of 2,750 feet per second. Such rounds can only be chambered and burst-fired by full-bore high velocity assault weapons.
There are three high velocity rifle rounds specifically designed to cause the savage fatal injuries suffered by Yvonne Fletcher that day, the worst of which is the `petal' fragible, an assassination bullet designed to enter the body before its nose separates into several razor-sharp high velocity splinters, leaving the heavy base of the bullet to continue on a straight track through the body. If three petal frags were fired, with only one striking Fletcher, the remaining two would explode on impact with the paving, hurling razor-sharp metal shrapnel fragments and hard granite chippings in a low arc towards the anti-Quadhafi demonstrators standing behind the barriers just beyond Yvonne Fletcher's position. Quite enough to injure a large number of bystanders but not kill them, which is exactly what happened at 10.19 am on the morning of 17 April 1984.
The question has to asked whether the objective of the covert operation was simply to splatter a few demonstrators with shards of shrapnel, which would have been enough to swing public opinion against Libya. Perhaps the operation simply went wrong and Yvonne Fletcher was killed by mistake? No. The sound track analysis and film footage prove she was hit by the first shot in the 3-shot burst. The first shot in an automatic burst always hits its target, before the weapon "walks" due to recoil effect. Therefore the assault rifle sights were lined-up on Yvonne Fletcher's back when the shooter squeezed the trigger. The only possible verdict is pre-meditated murder.
Hours after Yvonne's death, when the counter-terrorist squadron of the Special Air Service arrived by helicopter from Hereford, its members were advised by a senior police officer that the shots were fired from the Libyan Bureau at 5 St James Square. Good though the SAS normally is at countering terrorists in multiple environments, this wildly inaccurate police information made it impossible for the Squadron to successfully track down Yvonne Fletcher's ruthless killers.
There are few things more sacred to the British public than the safety of its proudly unarmed police force. Therefore the murder of a young unarmed policewoman on the streets of London would generate feelings of intense loathing in the British public and direct raw hatred towards the Libyans as the supposed killers. It did, but the public remained unaware of the real culprits as the horrifying sight of Yvonne Fletcher dying on national television was beamed across Britain into millions of homes.
Police Special Branch and MI5 had suspicions of course. The shots rang out for no obvious reason, and seasoned officers understood only too well that for the Libyans to kill an unarmed policewoman in broad daylight on a London street was tantamount to committing diplomatic suicide. Making the task even harder for police was their exclusion from the first three days of COBRA intelligence meetings after the murder, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister, while Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was out of the country on an official visit to Portugal.
It was an entirely critical time when the police were in hot pursuit of the murderer of an unarmed British policewoman, and had every right to storm the Libyan People's Bureau in order to search for evidence. Indeed the police wanted to storm the building, but permission was refused by the chairman of COBRA. It is perhaps a coincidence that, at this early stage, storming the Libyan Bureau could only have proved that no shots were fired from there at all.
The Chairman of COBRA and members of MI6 at the Foreign Office were demonstrably certain that Yvonne Fletcher was not killed by Libyans located in the Bureau, because after a creative media feeding frenzy and a bloodless siege that lasted until 22 April 1984, Britain broke off diplomatic relations with Libya and ordered the occupants of the Bureau to leave the country within seven days. They departed on 27 April, with no suspects being arrested or charged with her murder. Immediately after their departure the Libyan Bureau was entered and searched from top to bottom by a specialist military clearance team looking for booby traps, weapons and ammunition. Despite an exhaustive search of every nook and cranny in the building, nothing was found, a fact reported by the media the next day.
It was not until 2 May 1984, five days after the extensive military search, that the Metropolitan Police suddenly "found" 4,367 rounds of 9-mm and .22 calibre ammunition, 7 pistols, two Sterling pistol grips and two Sterling magazines in the Libyan Bureau. On the face of it, Mr. Plod had suddenly become much more skilled at finding concealed weapons and ammunition than the premier military explosives clearance team.
Who was fooling who? If the weapons and ammunition were Libyan property they would certainly have been loaded into one of the 18 Libyan diplomatic bags which left the country unopened. Critically though, no Sterling sub-machine guns or 7.62-mm high velocity assault rounds were planted in the Libyan building to be later "found" by the Metropolitan Police. There were sound reasons for this. Any "whole" Sterling sub-machine gun could be tested ballistically by forensic scientists, an event that had to be avoided at all costs because it would have exposed the deception; and 7.62-mm assault rounds had to be excluded because WPC Fletcher was notionally murdered with a low velocity 9-mm parabellum round: a fraudulent "fact" officially recorded at the inquest into her death.
The situation became more confusing in April 1985, when on the first anniversary of Yvonne Fletcher's pre-meditated murder, BBC2 Television ran a documentary in which an amateur video film of the demonstration was shown for the first time. The amateur camera allegedly recorded the sound of a 12-shot Sterling sub-machine gun burst, which concurred nicely with the coronial inquest findings of May 1984, and appeared to explain the inexplicable: eleven fired 9-mm bullets found by the Police during a search of St James conducted 10 days after the murder, in which time period the crime scene was not secured. Add to that the 9-mm bullet which allegedly killed Yvonne Fletcher but was not recovered from her body, and we have a neat figure of 12 rounds to match the forged video footage.
The amateur video footage provides an object lesson in how not to use forged evidence in an attempt to pervert the course of justice. The audio of a Sterling firing an 12-shot burst is real enough, but it was not recorded in St James Square, nor on the morning of the 17th April 1984 when Yvonne Fletcher was murdered. How is it possible to prove this? By relying on hard science and ignoring misleading media hype. Immediately before the murder, one of the professional cameramen filmed the front facade of the Libyan building, which was crossed diagonally by a clear shadow line cast by the sun. The exact time was accurately calculated using survey techniques and astronomical data from the Greenwich Observatory in London.
The forged amateur footage also shows a sun line diagonally crossing the front of the Libyan building, but unfortunately it is in the wrong place and at the wrong angle for 10.19 am on the morning of 17 April 1984. More convincing for the layman reader is the car parked in front of the Bureau. On the professional video the car is an unoccupied blue Peugeot sedan with its bonnet positioned between the two windows to the left of the Bureau entrance. On the blatantly forged amateur video, the unoccupied blue Peugeot sedan magically transforms itself into a white station wagon, starts its own engine, then drives itself five feet closer to the Libyan Bureau front door. Clever!
For forensic scientists there are a staggering number of other errors on the footage providing 100% proof of forgery, including the sun shadow line failing to shade the bonnet of the "new" white station wagon; the green Libyan flag vanishing from the pole above the Bureau front door, and a tall black street light to the right of the Bureau disappearing completely. There is no doubt the forged footage was prepared in order to forever cement the reversed Orwellian media "truth" in the minds of the British Parliament and people. Anyone daring to challenge this reverse media "truth" would be patted indulgently on the head and given a copy of the BBC2 film, complete with the damning forged amateur video footage "proving" the Libyans fired an entirely mythical Sterling sub-machine gun burst that day.
Ultimately the ploy failed. Unwittingly perhaps, the film makers proved their own video footage was deliberately forged, and thus in turn proved they were accessories after the fact to the murder of an unarmed British policewoman on the streets of London. At the time of going to press, Scotland Yard was making no moves to have this loathsome section of the media tracked down and charged. Sooner or later it must do so, because there is no statute of limitation where the murder of a uniformed police officer is concerned.
Yvonne Fletcher's pre-meditated murder was one of the major triggers allowing blanket sanctions to be imposed on Libya by the United Nations Security Council. With less than a handful of bullets Libya was brought to its knees by deception alone. But who did it? It was in early 1984 that an American multinational moved into 8 St James Square. Unknown to the British or Libyans, the multinational owned three smaller oil-related service companies. The first, Intairdrill, operated inside Libya, while the second had exclusive access to the top two floors at 8 St James Square. The author was a consultant to the third. One year after Yvonne Fletcher's murder, all three small companies were discreetly disposed of by the multinational corporation, which was in turn linked to foreign intelligence agencies including the Israeli Mossad and American CIA.
The identity of the person responsible for actually ordering the operation may never be uncovered. Was it the Director of the Mossad, or the Director of the CIA? Or was it simply an in-house multinational job on behalf of one of those agencies or an unknown third party? Because the occupants of 8 St James on that day and their connections are known, it is still possible to backtrack the chain of command, though this would require significant resources.
For the television media 1984 was a landmark year. Though in the past "little" lies had been broadcast frequently, this was the first proven occasion when the media deliberately covered up a horrific murder and reversed the absolute scientific proof for its own biased internationalist reasons, to the detriment of British national security. Fiction was overwhelmingly embraced as a substitute for truth. After 17 April 1984 the media lost its credibility. Lying on national television about the horrific pre-meditated murder of an unarmed British policewoman on the streets of London, proved it would lie about anything at all, once paid the traditional thirty pieces of silver.
WPC Yvonne Joyce Fletcher, ruthlessly sacrificed on television at the age of twenty five, was laid to rest at her local village church in the county of Wiltshire with full police honours. One of her mourners was the very same man who denied her superiors the right to enter the Bureau at 5 St James Square, and prove no shots were fired by the Libyans that day: The Chairman of COBRA.

Confidential tissue tests, in Australia during October 1995, detailed in this report, which provided absolute scientific proof that Yvonne Fletcher's hydrostatic injuries could not have been caused under any circumstances by a 9-mm parabellum bullet, even at maximum muzzle velocity. These tissue tests can be replicated with ease on pig carcasses.

AudioPro sound analysis, conducted in Australia during September 1995, providing absolute scientific proof that Yvonne Fletcher was hit by the first round in the 3-shot high velocity burst, and that the burst itself was fired from the west of her known position. The same computer program was used to prove the "amateur" video footage audio a forgery. Copy of audio profile of 3-shot burst attached to this report.

"Siege - A Failure of Intelligence?" Documentary run by BBC2 in April 1985, which includes the amateur video footage allegedly filmed in St James Squareon the morning of the 17th April 1984. This amateur footage and sound track is pure propaganda designed to reinforce the false media reportage of WPC Yvonne Fletcher's murder in April 1984, and is scientifically proven a forgery as detailed in this report. The producer of this forged footage is guilty of grave offences under the Anti Terrorism Act.

On 7 July 1999, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook announced in the British House of Commons, that the Libyan Government "had accepted general responsibility for Yvonne Fletcher's death, expressed its deep regrets to her mother, and paid compensation."

On 8 July 1999, the Libyan Ambassador-Designate to London denied Cook's claim, telling Sir Teddy Taylor MP that his government had made no such statement, and firmly denying Libyan involvement in Yvonne Fletcher's murder on 17 April 1984.

The alleged "compensation" was a misguided cheque provided by the Libyans at the express request of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office during late 1991, as "a gesture of good faith". The "deep regrets" were personal condolences expressed to Yvonne's mum by ordinary Libyan people when she visited a meeting in Tripoli during 1994, and "responsibility" was "Libya accepts general responsibility for the behaviour of its diplomats inside its London Embassy at the time of the shooting." Under the Berne Convention, every nation on earth is responsible for the general behaviour of its diplomats inside each and every one of its embassies at all times.

A new investigation into Fletcher's murder was launched in 1998 and centres on fresh scientific evidence presented by the author, proving that Fletcher was murdered by a bullet fired from a nearby American multinational building, not from the Libyan Embassy. The investigation continues today under the control of Home Office and Metropolitan Police officials, despite frantic left-wing political attempts to stop it.

There is no doubt that Robin Cook's statement was designed to quash growing public skepticism about Libyan involvement in the downing of Pan Am 103 during 1988. When investigators finally prove officially that the Libyans were not responsible for Yvonne Fletcher's murder in London, British and American Government credibility over the fake charges on Pan Am 103 will be destroyed. This will leave unanswered the critical question of exactly who ordered and carried out the murders of 259 citizens on the ill-fated "Maid of the Seas", high above Lockerbie in December 1988.

There was a two part two hour documentary aired on national UK TV in the mid 1990s which took Joe Vialls' point of view on this.
All, it seems, forgotten now as history is re-written again.

MI5 coerces the media NOT to publish my true GCHQ Cheltenham account, hence concealing their complicity in the murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher.

The true facts of my GCHQ Cheltenham account are:

I am the son of a London Metropolitan Police Constable who was in turn the son of a London Metropolitan Police Constable.

Typically at lunchtime, I would go for a walk but late morning on the 17 April 1984, my line manager (Phil Baker) instructed me to be “available” in my office during lunchtime. He provided no explanation. I later reflected, in some horror that only item 3 occurred.

Lunchtime on the 17 April 1984, the Communications Hall Supervisor was sitting on my desk in my office apparently waiting for me to return to my office. He had no reason to be there and he ‘blocked’ me up against the closed door. He then read the “missed” signal to me.

A couple of weeks before the shooting there was a brief argument in my office between the Day Duty Officer and my Line Manager regarding the night shift sleeping in my office.

A few weeks before the shooting, the G6 Senior Manager responsible for my appointment to that office, warned me that my integrity might be challenged and compromised.

A few weeks before the shooting, my office colleague insisted that I leave my desk, open our office door and look across the corridor and see a similar folding bed as in the attached photograph.

My office colleague often made a great fuss about the night shift sleeping in our office.

Prior to the shooting, a journalist that just happened to be writing a series of articles about GCHQ and Geoffrey Prime, declared on the 7.00am train from Worcester to Cheltenham that The Chestnut was his favourite pub. The Chestnut happens to be approximately 100 yds. from Flag Meadow Walk – our home at that time.

After the shooting, the same journalist attempted to ‘pump’ me for information.

Prior to my appointment to GCHQ the previous year, to my surprise the Positive Vetting Investigator said to me that “they certainly want you”.

On transfer to GCHQ, my Civil Service annual salary increased from £6,318 to £8,282 (31% salary increase - I wasn’t likely to say ‘no’ to such an offer).

The GCHQ trade union campaign began after the decision by the government in January 1984 to ban unions at GCHQ.

The questions put by Mr. Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow) in the House of Commons following the 1996 “Murder in St. James’s – Dispatches – Channel 4” two-part documentary must also be answered:﻿

I hope the Commander in the case, one Richard Walton, has enough time to watch it. He might be a bit busy himself helping police with their own inquiries into another old murder case. That of Stephen Lawrence

The public inquiry is now a National Crime Agency investigation and at the heart of it is questions surrounding Walton's role in meeting an undercover officer and the role of (alleged) bent copper John Davidson. Davidson is himself connected to another unsolved SE London murder

Walton would have faced misconduct charge if he hadn't retired. His retirement conveniently avoids the need for a public inquiry into police spying on the lawrence's which in turn would have dug into the murky connections between senior met officers and south london organised crime. It would have also publicly undermined the integrity of the head of the Met's counter-terrorism command

The prime suspect in the killing of WPc Yvonne Fletcher will not be prosecuted after police were blocked from using key evidence on “national security” grounds, it has emerged.

Saleh Ibrahim Mabrouk, a former education minister under Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, was arrested in 2015 in connection with the murder of WPc Fletcher, shot dead while policing a demonstration outside the Libyan embassy in 1984.

But Mr Mabrouk, who lives in the south of England, has been told by police that the case against him will not proceed “at this time”, despite Scotland Yard’s belief it has enough evidence to bring a prosecution.

The decision effectively kills off any hope of bringing individuals to court for the killing and means the only person arrested in connection with her death has been allowed to walk free.

John Murray, a former Met officer who held WPc Fletcher as she lay dying, described the decision as “absolutely horrendous” and “perverse”. Her family were “deeply disappointed".

Police sources blamed the Home Office for blocking the prosecution even though the exact nature of the inadmissible evidence is unclear.

“However, the key material has not been made available for use in court in evidential form for reasons of national security.

“Although our investigation has always remained open, cases like this do become harder to solve over time.

"Our judgment is that this concludes what was by far the best opportunity to solve this tragic case and provide a degree of closure for the victims and their families. This investigation will never be closed, but the likelihood of finding further evidence, in Libya or elsewhere, is low.”

The only other suspects in the case have either left Britain or are believed to be dead. WPc Fletcher was killed as she policed a demonstration against former Libya leader Gaddafi outside the Libyan People’s Bureau in St James’s Square on April 17, 1984.

The shooting gave rise to a 10-day siege of the building before 30 of the occupants were deported to Libya.

Following the shooting, Britain severed all diplomatic links with Libya until a Foreign Office initiative to improve Anglo-Libyan relations, as part of a deal negotiated by former foreign secretary Robin Cook to bring the Libyan Lockerbie suspects to trial.

Mr Mabrouk’s arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to murder had been described as a “significant turning point” at the time.

The decision by the Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service to release Mr Mabrouk from police bail has left the family of WPc Fletcher “deeply disappointed and frustrated” and means nobody is likely to be brought to justice for her death.

A statement said: “We understand that some available evidence could not be used in court but are satisfied that the Metropolitan Police has left no stone unturned in its pursuit of justice in Yvonne’s case.

“The family would like to thank the Met for its continued hard work and diligence and also for always keeping us informed at every turn.

“We are deeply disappointed and frustrated that a prosecution cannot proceed at this time. We had hoped that the latest turn of events would finally lead to some closure for the family.”

Asst Commissioner Mark Rowley, of the Met Police, said: “I regret that we have not been able to deliver the justice that the victims and their families deserve. Our thoughts today are with WPc Fletcher’s family and all those affected by the events of that day in 1984.”

Police were initially hampered by diplomatic immunity laws, but during their investigations officers became convinced that the killing was carried out by members linked to the so-called “stray dogs” campaign, which was orchestrated from Libya to attack overseas dissidents.

Mr Murray said he had been told by Scotland Yard that “vital evidence has been withheld under the guise of national security”.

He told The Daily Telegraph: “That is absolutely horrendous. If that is not a perverse use of the law, I think there is something wrong.”

He said he was planning to start a private prosecution against Mr Mabrouk. Burdens of proof are lower in the civil courts.

Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, said: “I cannot comment on the details of this case.”

She added: “I would however like to acknowledge the hard work and commitment the Metropolitan Police have shown over a prolonged period of time to bring to justice those involved in the murder of WPc Yvonne Fletcher.

"WPc Fletcher was one of their own. Her murder remains as shocking and senseless as the day it occurred and I understand that the decision will be deeply disappointing and frustrating for all her family, friends and colleagues.”

Mr Mabrouk was deported from Britain after the shooting, with the government saying his presence in the country was 'not conducive to the public good'.

But he re-entered Britain 18 years ago to study as part of Foreign Office moves to improve relations between Libya and the UK. He claimed asylum in the UK in 2011.

In October 2009, the Telegraph revealed how the CPS was told by an independent prosecutor in April 2007 in a 140-page report that it had sufficient evidence to charge Matouk Mohammed Matouk and Abdulgader Mohammed Baghdadi with conspiracy to cause the death of Wpc Fletcher.

The Telegraph also disclosed in August 2011 that a Gaddafi-era diplomat Abdulmagid Salah Ameri had been identified by witnesses as the possible murder suspect in a report for the CPS. Of the three men, only Matouk is believed to be still alive.

Stephen Kamlish QC, lawyer for Mr Mabrouk, said: "At no stage have the police produced any evidence against my client. Not a shred."

“However, the key material has not been made available for use in court in evidential form for reasons of national security.

“Although our investigation has always remained open, cases like this do become harder to solve over time.

"Our judgment is that this concludes what was by far the best opportunity to solve this tragic case and provide a degree of closure for the victims and their families. This investigation will never be closed, but the likelihood of finding further evidence, in Libya or elsewhere, is low.”

The only other suspects in the case have either left Britain or are believed to be dead. WPc Fletcher was killed as she policed a demonstration against former Libya leader Gaddafi outside the Libyan People’s Bureau in St James’s Square on April 17, 1984.

The shooting gave rise to a 10-day siege of the building before 30 of the occupants were deported to Libya.

Following the shooting, Britain severed all diplomatic links with Libya until a Foreign Office initiative to improve Anglo-Libyan relations, as part of a deal negotiated by former foreign secretary Robin Cook to bring the Libyan Lockerbie suspects to trial.

Mr Mabrouk’s arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to murder had been described as a “significant turning point” at the time.

The decision by the Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service to release Mr Mabrouk from police bail has left the family of WPc Fletcher “deeply disappointed and frustrated” and means nobody is likely to be brought to justice for her death.

A statement said: “We understand that some available evidence could not be used in court but are satisfied that the Metropolitan Police has left no stone unturned in its pursuit of justice in Yvonne’s case.

“The family would like to thank the Met for its continued hard work and diligence and also for always keeping us informed at every turn.

“We are deeply disappointed and frustrated that a prosecution cannot proceed at this time. We had hoped that the latest turn of events would finally lead to some closure for the family.”

Asst Commissioner Mark Rowley, of the Met Police, said: “I regret that we have not been able to deliver the justice that the victims and their families deserve. Our thoughts today are with WPc Fletcher’s family and all those affected by the events of that day in 1984.”

Police were initially hampered by diplomatic immunity laws, but during their investigations officers became convinced that the killing was carried out by members linked to the so-called “stray dogs” campaign, which was orchestrated from Libya to attack overseas dissidents.

Mr Murray said he had been told by Scotland Yard that “vital evidence has been withheld under the guise of national security”.

He told The Daily Telegraph: “That is absolutely horrendous. If that is not a perverse use of the law, I think there is something wrong.”

He said he was planning to start a private prosecution against Mr Mabrouk. Burdens of proof are lower in the civil courts.

Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, said: “I cannot comment on the details of this case.”

She added: “I would however like to acknowledge the hard work and commitment the Metropolitan Police have shown over a prolonged period of time to bring to justice those involved in the murder of WPc Yvonne Fletcher.

"WPc Fletcher was one of their own. Her murder remains as shocking and senseless as the day it occurred and I understand that the decision will be deeply disappointing and frustrating for all her family, friends and colleagues.”

Mr Mabrouk was deported from Britain after the shooting, with the government saying his presence in the country was 'not conducive to the public good'.

But he re-entered Britain 18 years ago to study as part of Foreign Office moves to improve relations between Libya and the UK. He claimed asylum in the UK in 2011.

In October 2009, the Telegraph revealed how the CPS was told by an independent prosecutor in April 2007 in a 140-page report that it had sufficient evidence to charge Matouk Mohammed Matouk and Abdulgader Mohammed Baghdadi with conspiracy to cause the death of Wpc Fletcher.

The Telegraph also disclosed in August 2011 that a Gaddafi-era diplomat Abdulmagid Salah Ameri had been identified by witnesses as the possible murder suspect in a report for the CPS. Of the three men, only Matouk is believed to be still alive.

Stephen Kamlish QC, lawyer for Mr Mabrouk, said: "At no stage have the police produced any evidence against my client. Not a shred."

Mr Mabrouk’s son Osama Saleh Ibrahim insisted in 2015 that his father was innocent. He said: “'You know when you didn't do anything... we trust the law here in England.”_________________--

Ex colleagues of murdered policewoman Yvonne Fletcher furious as probe into key suspect halted
Police chiefs believe they have sufficient evidence to prosecute but they have been blocked from bringing a prosecution due to 'national security'

Furious ex colleagues of murdered policewoman Yvonne Fletcher spoke of their anger today after a police probe into a key suspect was dramatically halted.
Police chiefs believe they have sufficient evidence but they have been blocked from bringing a prosecution due to “national security”.
Libyan national Saleh Ibrahim Mabrouk was arrested 18 months ago on suspicion of conspiracy to murder PC Fletcher, shot dead in 1984. But last week he was told the investigation into him would not continue.
Mr Mabrouk, who is in his 50s, now lives with his wife Kamila, 48, in a £600,000 five bedroom mock Tudor house on the outskirts of Reading, Berks.
Today, in a further twist, it emerged that Theresa May and other ministers knew in advance about the decision to drop the case and did nothing to stop it.
PC Fletcher’s colleague John Murray, who cradled her in his arms as she lay dying outside the Libyan embassy in 1984, said it was deeply upsetting and “a slap in the face for Yvonne”.
He said: “The decision could only have come from the Government. I could understand if it was Libya."
The Home Office has refused to comment on the Crown Prosecution Service decision, raising new questions about the murder.
Former Labour minister Yvette Cooper, chairman of the Commons home affairs select committee, said: “It is completely unacceptable for the Home Office to provide so little information.”
Ex Metropolitan police commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson said: “We need a full explanation of how this was allowed to happened.”
Mr Mabrouk, a close aide to Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi, was expelled from Britain a week after PC Fletcher’s murder but was allowed to return in 2000 after diplomatic relations between the two countries were restored.
Later, he was given political asylum and studied for a PhD in the oil industry at Reading University.
He was identified as a prime suspect in the “pre-arranged” shooting of the 25-year-old police officer, who was on duty during a protest outside the London embassy, in a prosecution report in 2007.
Mr Mabrouk’s lawyers say there is “not a shred” of evidence against him._________________www.lawyerscommitteefor9-11inquiry.orgwww.rethink911.orgwww.patriotsquestion911.comwww.actorsandartistsfor911truth.orgwww.mediafor911truth.orgwww.pilotsfor911truth.orgwww.mp911truth.orgwww.ae911truth.orgwww.rl911truth.orgwww.stj911.orgwww.v911t.orgwww.thisweek.org.ukwww.abolishwar.org.ukwww.elementary.org.ukwww.radio4all.net/index.php/contributor/2149http://utangente.free.fr/2003/media2003.pdf
